How much sleep do you need to be your best?
I wish I could get by with less sleep, but I’m a crabby zombie if I sleep less than eight hours a night. Nine hours would be even better, but the demands of work, family, and writing won’t allow it.
Every writer has their own idea of what a successful career in writing is, what does success in writing look like to you?
Really, if my characters entertain my readers for a few hours, then I’m doing my job. It’s hard to predict how many readers I’ll ever have, but I would feel like a success if my readers follow me from one book to the next.
Tell us about your new book? What’s it about and why did you write it?
From the book description:
A failed actress, twenty-something Julia McCarthy begins writing a fictionalized blog as a form of self-therapy. Based on her carefree summers at her grandparents’ farm, she never expects her little experiment to garner a viral following, but it does. Boy, does it ever.
Now, with thousands of loyal blog followers, and a syndication deal with the Chicago Herald, Julia is approached by GreenTV to adapt her blog into a TV show. The producers see her as a “Rachel Ray on the Prairie-type”. She sees herself as a fraud.
In Julia’s fictional world, she’s successful. She can pay her bills on time. Heck, she even has a fictional gorgeous husband and charming little boy. Ready to realize her dreams, Julia returns to her grandparents’ farm to shoot the TV pilot.
Brad Taylor is definitely not her type: he’s rugged, sensible, and oh-so smug about learning that Julia’s blog is a farce. As the manager of her grandparent’s farm, Brad doesn’t have time to deal with whimsical women who don’t even know how to cook.
Julia can’t allow her attraction to Brad to distract her, not when her dreams are about to come true. But are these truly her dreams, her good life?
A fun, fast (150 pages) contemporary romance
What’s your next project?
Right now I’m wrapping up Madi, The Good Life Book Two. Next up, I’m planning to write a Christmas novella: Trudy, A Good Life Christmas. That story will focus on Julia’s grandmother when she was a newlywed during the 1950s.
How do you feel about self-publishing?
I find it both liberating and scary. On the one hand, it has freed so many talented authors from the confines of the traditional publishing model, many of whom never had the chance to get their work published until now. One the other hand, with few constraints to what gets published there is also a rising tide of bad books on the market. It makes it confusing for readers. I would encourage any reader in this new publishing world to read samples before you buy. Reviews are helpful, but they can only help so much.
I LOVE my Kindle Paperwhite, I just wish it was waterproof so I could relax a bit more when I take it into the bath. When I find a free half hour I enjoy romance, paranormal romance and new adult books, mostly.
